    On the Banks of the Raritan Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick

    On the Banks of the Raritan Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick October 9, 2013 - January 31, 2014 Special Collections and University Archives Galleries On the Banks of the Raritan: Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick This exhibition was inspired by the desire to celebrate the life and work of the pioneering composer and beloved Rutgers faculty member, Robert Moevs (1920–2007). Dr. Moevs donated a large collection of correspondence, musical scores, recordings, photographs and ephemera to the Music and Performing Arts Library in 1998, and arrangement and description of the collection was completed in 2010. After several false starts, the “Moevs” exhibition developed into an overview of music at Rutgers and in the city of New Brunswick, from about 1850 to the 1980s. The overarching theme of the exhibition is music in town and gown and how the two are tied to together both physically and metaphorically by the Raritan River. Fittingly, one of the earliest pieces of sheet music in the exhibition is Otto F. Jacobsen’s Souvenir de Raritan (1846). And of course, in 1873, “On the Banks of the Old Raritan,” the song that would become the Rutgers University alma mater, was written by Howard N. Fuller. This exhibition features Robert Moevs as well as many other Rutgers faculty members, student musicians, and musical groups. The Special Collections and University Archives Gallery focuses on how a thriving musical scene developed in the small river and railroad city of New Brunswick in the late nineteenth century. Gallery '50 on the first floor traces the early history of music at Rutgers University—notably the foundation of the Glee Club, one of the oldest and most prominent collegiate groups in the country—to the incorporation of music into Rutgers' educational mission in the early twentieth century, and the eventual shift from city venues and local performers to university spaces and student and faculty musicians.
